Digital Recording Console 02R Getting Started Guide
As the effect return signal is entirely digital, if CLIP is reached, you will
experience digital clipping distortion.
3. Select the PAN icon with the CURSOR buttons and set the pan
position using the encoder wheel.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the ROUTING icons. Press the
[ENTER] button to select routes for the effect return signal.
By default (assuming you are still working with Scene Memory 0 “0 Initial
Data”) the effect return channel is routed to the stereo bus.
5. Select the EQ graph with the CURSOR buttons and press the
[ENTER] button.
The 02R will automatically switch to the EQUALIZER display function.
Follow the steps detailed in “Applying EQ” on page 24 of the
Getting
Started Guide to set the equalization for the effect return channel EFF 1 RTN.
Note: In many cases, clipping in the effect return channel is caused by the send
level being too high. You may need to adjust the send levels as well as the
attenuation if you experience clipping.
Note: Setting the pan position, routing and equalization can all be done quickly
and easily with the dedicated controls of the SELECTED CHANNEL block.
Note: Although you cannot route the effect return channel to the direct outputs,
you can route it to the same bus that the input channel is routed to, allowing you to
record the effect together with the input signal.
Many engineers prefer to add effects only during the final mix. It is very easy to
apply effects, but difficult to remove it once it has been recorded. You may want to
send the effect to the monitor mix, however, especially when recording a vocalist –
many vocalists dislike hearing their voice “dry” in the monitors.
Note: Many engineers prefer to hold off applying EQ to a recording until they
are ready to mixdown. Again, it is much easier to apply EQ than to subsequently
remove it.
